Lyrics
0:12I watch your troubled eyes as you rest
0:17And I fall in love with every breath
0:23Wonder if those eyes are really shut
0:29And am I the one you're dreaming of
0:35Cause underneath the darkness
0:41There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen
0:47And I know this cause I notice
0:53A little bit shining through the seams
0:58And if this is what it takes
1:03Then let me be the one to bear the pain
1:11If this is what it takes
1:16I'll break down these walls that are in our way
1:21If this is what it takes
1:35You keep on telling me I'm wasting time
1:40But to call it wasting time oh that's a crime
1:46And you think it's crazy what I'm tryna do
1:52Well baby I'm a fool for you
1:58Cause underneath the darkness
2:04There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen
2:10And I know this cause I notice
2:16A little bit shining through the seams
2:22And if this is what it takes
2:26Then let me be the one to bear the pain
2:34If this is what it takes
2:39I'll break down these walls that are in our way
2:45Cause if you don't understand yet
2:48Then I'll never let you forget
2:52That you don't have to do this on your own
2:57I'll be your shoulder to lean on
3:00I'll be your right when you feel wrong
3:03So c'mon take my hand we're moving on
3:09And if this is what it takes
3:14Then let me be the one to bear the pain
3:21And if this is what it takes
3:26I'll break down these walls these walls that are in our way
3:32This is what it takes
I watch your troubled eyes as you rest And I fall in love with every breath Wonder if those eyes are really shut And am I the one you're dreaming of Cause underneath the darkness There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen And I know this cause I notice A little bit shining through the seams And if this is what it takes Then let me be the one to bear the pain If this is what it takes I'll break down these walls that are in our way If this is what it takes You keep on telling me I'm wasting time But to call it wasting time oh that's a crime And you think it's crazy what I'm tryna do Well baby I'm a fool for you Cause underneath the darkness There's a light that's trying so hard to be seen And I know this cause I notice A little bit shining through the seams And if this is what it takes Then let me be the one to bear the pain If this is what it takes I'll break down these walls that are in our way Cause if you don't understand yet Then I'll never let you forget That you don't have to do this on your own I'll be your shoulder to lean on I'll be your right when you feel wrong So c'mon take my hand we're moving on And if this is what it takes Then let me be the one to bear the pain And if this is what it takes I'll break down these walls these walls that are in our way This is what it takes
